My Hero

What does it mean to be a hero? I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others

happy. My hero is Mr. Wright, my chorus(

合唱队

) teacher.

When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and losing them

was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to

36

through. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn’t

even breathe. It was as if my whole world had fallen

down from under me, and I

37

into this huge

hole of depression(

抑郁

).

1

38

I was battling depression, I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life.

It was difficult to be

39

, but I had to try. I joined Women’s Choir. Mr. Wright was the choral director

and he was so funny that the first day, I just knew I had made the best

40

of my life.

As

the

year

progressed,

I

loved

chorus

more

and

more.

I

began

to

smile

again

and

really

enjoy

41

.

Then one day that all changed. My friends

—

or those that I thought were my friends

—

started talking

about me behind my back. I was

42

, and I sat by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was

wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could

43

him. Trying hard to

44

back tears, I told

him the whole story.

When I finished, he nodded and

told me, “If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is

worth

45

your

joy.”

What

Mr.

Wright

said

really

46

a

chord

(

心弦

)

in

my

heart.

He

47

cared about me and what was going on. I’ll never be able to thank him enough, because he not

only saved

me but has

48

every day of it since. Any time I feel like giving

49

, I remember Mr. Wright’s

words and push forward.

I’m proud to say that I

50

my depression, and I’m now a senior. I’m still a

51

of chorus,

and now I’m also in

the best choir at my school.

Mr.

Wright

is

a

hero

52

everyone

he

meets.

He

cares

about

every

single

person

who

walks

through

his door, and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I’ve known. That’s

53

he

deserves to be Educator of the Year. He deserves the

54

not just this year but every year.

I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet you, Mr. Wright. You are an

55

teacher, and I hope you

realize that. You’re my hero.

A

Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at

night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very

friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.

The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us

as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man

moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We

couldn’t

see

his

face

and

he

was

approaching

us

very

rapidly.

The

man’s

actions

made

my

dad

very

nervous. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like

my dad’s voice; I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cell phones on

us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of

fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly

turning into a dangerous situation.

We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so

-called intruder

(

侵入者

)

had

moved

nearer

and

nearer

when

all

of

a

sudden,

the

nearby

vending(

自动贩卖

)

machine

started going cra

zy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of

sight.

My

parents

were

shaking,

but

we

all

turned

around

to

see

who

had

put

money

into

the

vending

machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul.

It’s one vacation I will never forget.

56. Where did the author spend her vacation?

A. Near a lake.

B. At the seaside.

C. In a village.

D. In a mountain.

57. What happened on the last evening of their vacation?

A. They were followed by a stranger.

B. Their cell phones were missing.

C. Their money was stolen.

D. They lost their way.

58. The underlined word “overwhelm” in Paragraph 2 means _________.

A. control

B. move

C. excite

D. impress

59. What helped them get out of the trouble?

A. Their quick action.

B. Other people’s kind help.

C. The young man’s warning.

D. The noise from the vending machine.

For over 30 years, Rainbow Montessori in Addison has given children a place to grow and explore the

world around them, and they’re still going strong today. With 20 years in the same location, the school is

“not going anywhere,” says Dave Rodenborn, a son of the school’s founders. As general director, Dave h

as

overseen

many

improvements,

including

a

new

playground

for

the

preschool

and

a

complete

modernization.

The school serves families of children from 6 weeks to 6

th

grade. This allows them to have programs

in

baby

care,

preschool,

kindergarten,

and

elementary(

小学

).

The

curriculum

has

developed

over

the

decades, most notably in the Elementary. At first somewhat jokingly referred to as “Monte

-

sorta,” due to its

relaxed

application

of

the

Montessori

Method,

the

school’s

elementary

now

stresses

a

more

traditional

Montess environment. Montessori associates abstract concepts with concrete sensorial(

感觉的

) experiences,

ensuring

that

children

are

involved

in

learning,

not

just

memorization.

Classrooms

still

have

a

creative,

casual feel, with children having freedom of choice, but in keeping with

Montessori principles, they work

within a framework. This helps them learn about freedom within limits, maximizing their potential.

The

truly

international

Rainbow

Montessori

staff

comes

from

a

wide

range

of

backgrounds,

all

Montessori-

trained. “They are an energetic, devoted group,” says Dave. “They are loyal, caring and like

what they do a lot. I’d say a good 30 to 40 percent of them have been here for almost a decade or more.”

Dave says that his favorite part of being at Rainb

ow Montessori is “making things grow”. By that, he

doesn’t mean it in the sense of the organic, but by “coming up with good solutions to problems as they

occur.”

This

is

reflective

of

Montessori

beliefs,

in

which

each

child

learns

to

use

the

right

tools

an

d

discover

solutions

for

themselves.

Dave

credits

a

strong

staff

and great

parents

with

lots

of

patience

for

helping to make Rainbow Montessori an ideal place for children to learn and grow.
